Learn to configure the fingerprint scanner on the latest smartphone flagship Samsung Galaxy S5.
The next generation flagship Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Galaxy S5 has many new features, but the fingerprint sensor is one that will stand out more. This feature has already been introduced in the iPhone 5S Apple and Samsung now has added functionality to its flagship Galaxy S5, but the functions are somewhat different. The fingerprint of the Samsung Galaxy S5 sensor allows you to protect the terminal from the lock screen, but also gives the content of the terminal block option, such as photo albums, documents, or any type of information similar.
Instead of having to be entering a code or draw a picture of a pattern, the system unlocks the phone with a slip of the finger on the start button, which is faster and safer. On the other hand, it also allows to make payments through the PayPal platform and should continue to expand its functions.
